Home-Start support and friendship for families in local communities

Home-Start Okehampton is a local charity offering support, friendship and practical help to families in Okehampton and surrounding parishes.

Home-Start was my shining light at the end of what often seemed to be a very long and dark tunnel.” A family supported by Home-Start.

Home-Start Okehampton has more referrals to this essential service than volunteers available to offer support. Consequently, there is an urgent need for more volunteers to assist this important work in helping local families in crisis.

  • Are you a parent, do you have parenting experience?
  • Do you feel you could offer something to local families experiencing difficulties?
  • Can you spare 2 to 3 hours per week.
  • Expenses and Training provided.
